Live from San Jose, Erick and Rich discuss why Carbonite is giving so many Webroot executives senior leadership roles, a strategy for tackling business improvement goals manageably, and a case of someone taking the whole Popeye’s chicken sandwich craze way too far.

Erick and Rich have some thoughts to share about Acronis jumping into cybersecurity services, forging a strategy for your business before investing in your business, and a new text-based support service (yea!) from Spirit Airlines that costs $25 to use (boo!).

Vendor to Watch: My Digital Shield Inc.

The market for security solutions is full of familiar names. What differentiates newcomer My Digital Shield from that crowd of more established players?

In a word, simplicity, says CEO Andrew Bagrin. Plug the company’s compact “Cloud Link” device into an Internet router, answer a few quick questions, and within minutes your customers are enjoying comprehensive, vertical industry-specific protection from a constantly shifting set of security threats. “Flip a switch on and they’re good to go,” Bagrin says. And maintaining the solution is just as simple, he continues, because My Digital Shield is a Web-based security-as-a-service offering with no on-site software to patch or update.

Designed from the ground up for small businesses with tight budgets, My Digital Shield is available for as little as $69 a month. Yet it provides the enterprise-grade security SMBs increasingly need as cybercriminals shift their attention from big companies with state-of-the-art defenses to smaller, more vulnerable organizations, Bagrin states.

The solution is a good fit for resellers too, he adds, as it frees them from continually having to keep up with the latest risks, regulations, and viruses. “They don’t have to worry about all that nitty-gritty stuff,” he says, because My Digital Shield’s development team does it for them.

Most important of all though, Bagrin insists, My Digital Shield safeguards your clients from potentially ruinous risks. “We keep all the bad stuff out and we keep all the good stuff from getting out,” he says. Sounds pretty simple.
